Framed Five-barred Swordtail (Graphium antiphates) – Real Specimen Display
Add a sleek and elegant piece of Asian forest beauty to your collection with this professionally framed Five-barred Swordtail (Graphium antiphates).
This graceful swallowtail is instantly recognizable by its pale, almost translucent white or creamy wings crossed by five bold black bars on the forewings. The hindwings feature long, slender, sword-like tails that give the butterfly its name, along with delicate black markings and often subtle flashes of color on the underside. The overall effect is clean, refined, and highly distinctive — a classic example of the elegant Graphium swordtails.
Native to the forests and wooded areas of South and Southeast Asia (ranging from India and Sri Lanka through to Indonesia and beyond), the Five-barred Swordtail is a swift, active flier and a favorite among collectors for its striking black-and-white patterning and elongated tails.
